Name three oxoacids of nitrogen. Write the disproportionation reaction of that oxoacid of nitrogen in which nitrogen is in +3 oxidation state.

Answers (1)

The 3 oxyacids of nitrogen are:

  1. Nitric acid \left ( HNO_{3} \right )
  2. Nitrous acid \left ( HNO_{2} \right )
  3. Hyponitrous acid \left ( H_{2}N_{2}O_{2} \right )

The disproportionation reaction wherein the nitrogen is in +3 oxidation state is:

\\3HNO_{2}\rightarrow HNO_{3}+2NO+H_{2}O\\+3\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; +5\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; +2

Oxidation state changes from +3 to +5 and +2
